Scott Francis Selwood (born 27 March 1990) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Geelong Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). Originally from Bendigo, Victoria, Selwood is the youngest of four brothers (Adam, Troy, Joel, and himself) that have all played in the AFL. He played under-18 football for the Bendigo Pioneers in the TAC Cup before being selected by West Coast with the 22nd pick overall in the 2007 National Draft. Selwood made his debut for West Coast in round three of the 2008 season, and has played a total over 100 games for the club, mainly as a tagger or inside midfielder. He was the winner of West Coast's Club Champion Award in 2012 as the best and fairest at the club. After Darren Glass retired midway through the 2014 season, Selwood was named acting co-captain of the club for the remainder of the season, along with four other players.〔Alex Malcolm (13 June 2014). (Up to five could rotate West Coast captaincy ) – Australian Football League. Retrieved 13 June 2014.〕 ==Career== Originally from Bendigo, Victoria, where he attended Catholic College Bendigo, Selwood was recruited from the Bendigo Pioneers with the West Coast Eagles' fourth pick and number 22 overall in the 2007 AFL Draft. He made his debut against Fremantle in the Round 3 Western Derby in 2008. He was retained in the team for the Round 4 match against the Sydney Swans, but was dropped after a poor performance, obtaining only nine possessions. He played several further games later in the season, however. Selwood became a regular in the Eagles' line-up over the following three seasons, initially as a tagger, and later as an inside midfielder. He continued his outstanding form throughout the 2012 season, playing predominantly as a tagger and midfielder depending on the opposition. He capped off a stellar season by winning the West Coast Eagles club champion award, ahead of team mates Dean Cox and Shannon Hurn. Selwood along with brother Adam and teammates such as Luke Shuey and Ashton Hams have been criticised by AFL commentators and coaches, and then eventually AFL fans, for supposedly 'ducking' in tackles to get free kicks. Selwood and his teammates have received some support from the AFL community, AFL boss Andrew Demetriou and their coach John Worsfold who all agree that there have not been rule breeches in this area by these players. On 12 October 2015, Selwood left the West Coast Eagles and joined his brother Joel at the Geelong Football Club as a restricted free agent. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scott Selwood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
